Cape Town safety fears force parents to seek former white-only schools

Parents in Cape Town fear for their children's safety due to crime, prompting them to seek former white-only schools further away. Primary schools in townships like Khayelitsha face violence and extortion from local gangs, leading some families to endure lengthy commutes to secure better education for their kids. Despite efforts to address educational disparities post-apartheid, challenges like underfunding, safety concerns, and unequal access to quality education persist in South Africa, impacting students dependent on their place of birth and economic status.
